I read these out of order which was not problem regarding the story lines, perhaps even interesting. Both books concern members of the Lazelle family, a group of witches with real magic powers. I enjoyed the earlier book a lot more, but both were interesting.
The Wasp Factory by Ian Banks
Strange, weird, twisted, crazy, psychotic. I used to read a lot of books like this. A very good novel, but not for the lighthearted.
Many thanks to Camille for all these suggestions! Due to the popularity of some of the book suggestions, I had to abandon the public library and resort to Amazon to get a few books. Approximately 2,200 pages of reading will be dropping on my doorstep soon. I think I'll need a lot more coffee.
Managed to get through another three books this week.

I also preferred "A Fistful of Sky" to "Fall of Light" because how you can NOT love someone who thinks "ultimate fashion sense" is a curse?

Oh. Yeah. I finally put my books in.
You're lucky this didn't start in May, since I read 23 books in the entire month of June. :D
And Michelle takes the lead!
And Michelle takes the lead! I was worried you had gone cold turkey on reading this summer.
How silly! Just too much
How silly!
Just too much travel I think--I've even been behind on updating my book blog. :(
